 Easy Bertie Blotts Every Flavor Beans: 
 When you exit of the Gryffindor Tower notice the object in the corner. 
 Hit it with Flipendo and three Beans will appear. Go around the corner 
 and walk at least three steps away. Return and cast Flipendo again to 
 get three more Beans. Repeat this to get as many Beans as needed. 
 
 Use the Nimbus 2000 Broomstick and fly above Hogwarts. Fly through the 
 rings to get free Beans. A blue ring gives 10 Beans, a yellow ring gives 
 1 Bean, a red ring gives 3 Beans and a green ring gives 2 Beans. 
 
 At the beginning at Ron's house is a tool chest in their barn. Every time 
 it moves on its own means that you can shoot it with Flapendo to get more 
 beans. 
 
 When you go outside of Hogwart's, go to the tree where you walk through a 
 long hallway and Flapendo it to get as many Beans as needed.
  
 Easy Wizard Cards:
 Go to the Burrow and Diagon Alley. Look for chests there for Wizard Cards. 
 
 Go Neville's games, especially Broom Racing, to get Wizard Cards. 
 Note: You will have to pay Beans to participate in Broom Racing and Gnome 
 Tossing, Gnome Dunking is free. 
 
 In Ron's barn at the very beginning is a card on top of the rafters. 
 To get it, you need to climb the chicken coop outside. 
 
 Easy points:
 In the Chamber Of Secrets, destroy paintings on the wall. You will open 
 the painting and get 100 points for Gryffindor. 
 
 After returning from the Whomping Willow, head deep to your right when 
 Professor Snape finishes scolding you. There, in a corner, you will find 
 your first Notice Board Item. You can return it to the Notice Board before 
 or after you go to the Restroom Shop the Weasley's set up, earning you the 
 very first 10 points in the game, and possibly a Wizards Card.
 
 Easy Sickles:
 Once you have collected your Standard Book of Spells (Grade 2) in Diagon 
 Alley, you can cast Flipendo to break barrels and uncover Sickles that you 
 can use to buy items such as Stink Pellets at Gambol and Japes.
 
 Easy duel win:
 First use Expellmarias until the orange ball is giant. When it is in the 
 air heading for your opponent, use Diffindo before it hits so they cannot 
 move away in time. Note: This may not always work. 
 
 Sneaking around at night:
 When sneaking around at night, you need to get by many of the prefects. 
 When you need to get by them, simply crawl under the bookcase to the left 
 of the portrait that leads to the Griffondore common room. It leads through 
 a secret passage that takes you to the fourth floor. 
 
 When sneaking around and you do not want to walk slowly, you can use various 
 objects and spells to distract the prefects. Stink Pellets are not too reliable, 
 but the non-explodable luminous balloons work well. As for spells, try Flapendo. 
 
 Avoiding ghosts:
 When you do not want to be hit by ghosts and lose all your items (Balloons, 
 Beans, and sometimes Stink Pellets) just stand on the ledge until the specter 
 nears you. Tap the controls so that you will fall and catch the ledge. When 
 you are hanging, they cannot hit you and cause your items to go flying. 
 
 Another way to avoid the ghosts and keep from losing your collected items is 
 to use Lumos. Hold Down to maximize the spell. The ghosts will not hit you when 
 the light is on. Sometimes this requires careful timing because you are trying 
 to search and collect items at the same time.
 
 Escaping the Slytherins:
 When you are in the Slytherin common room and need to get out, hide behind the 
 pillar on the right side and wait for the girl to pass. Next, go into the room 
 on your left and stay behind the door. The girl will return and look around. 
 She will not see you. After she walks away, run and jump to avoid being captured. 
 As soon as you exit the room, go to your left. Once there, start running to the 
 door to avoid being captured. This may take a few attempts, as there are many 
 people waiting by the door. Run very fast instead of creeping there -- the 
 Slytherins do not catch on very quickly that you are there.
 
 Deduct points from Slytherin:
 When Hermione changes you into Goyle, go out at night and try to get caught 
 by the Prefects (the people that patrol the halls). When you do, Slytherin 
 will get 5 house points deducted. You may repeat this process a few times, 
 but after awhile this will stop. 
 
 Expelliarmus Challenge:
 Use your spell that cuts down tapestries and ropes on the spiked ball. 
 Walk up close to the edge and hold your trigger button, charge up for a 
 half second and cast. Note: If you throw the imps into the fiery pits, 
 they will die and you do not have to worry about them. Likewise, if you 
 throw them all away you cannot put them into the cages to get out; but when 
 all are indeed gone, they respawn from that hatch in the wall at the first ramp. 
 
 Professor Flitwick's Incedio Challenge: 
 Once you get the Incedio Spell, return to the main room and make sure the two 
 pillars are down. Go into one of them and switch the flame direction so that 
 the flames are both are on one side of the room. On the other side, use Incedio 
 to light the pigs and Flapendo to point them up to lift the platform; then again 
 on the other one. Run quickly to the switch by the exit. If successful the door, 
 will be unlocked halfway. You will need to do likewise with the other side. 
 Note: You do not have to charge at all -- this gives you a few extra needed seconds.
 
 Fighting with Expelliarmus:
 When in one of the few battles with Hogwart's students (just the Slytherin 
 Gang, all others leave you alone), let them make the first shot and bounce 
 it back. Just as you do, use your Flapendo with a quarter to half second charge 
 to knock them back, thus trapping them with two spells to knock back, which they 
 can never manage. Note: Beware, just as you finish casting Flapendo (depending 
 on distance), you will be forced to use your Expelliarmus almost instantly.
 
 Defeating Aragog:
 To defeat Aragog, the final big spider, use one of the strafe keys (A and D) 
 and the mouse. While strafing, click the Left Mouse Button repeatedly to keep 
 hitting the spider. It will not do much damage, but you will not get hit very 
 often. 
 
 Defeating the Basilisk:
 Grab the sword, but do not attempt to hit it when you get the first chance. 
 When the basilisk gets very tall and green appears from its mouth, use the 
 sword on the black diamond on his chest while he is up. To do that, make sure 
 you lock on then attack. Continue to do this and he will be defeated soon. 
 Note: Only attack him while his head is far above the ground. 
 
 Defeating the Giant Mother Spider: 
 To get to it, use your Lumos spell to light the floor and follow the trail of 
 spiders. Unlike the book, the spiders that are not normal size will try to kill 
 you. Attack them with Incendio. When fighting the Giant Mother Spider, do not 
 try to hurt the spider itself. Instead, use your Incendio spell to burn the web 
 it has attached to the various trees. When done, it will fall into the pit and 
 you will slip in after it. In here, just run around until it rears its head and 
 exposes its soft under-belly. It is the only part that is susceptible to second 
 level magic. Note: It is best to not charge and use rapid firing to get a little 
 extra damage.
 
 Defeating the Giant Mother Spider 2:
 While fighting it, you may notice little sacks being dropped and suspended by 
 webbing. Shoot them down with Flapendo and collect health and Bean power ups 
 from Hedwig.
 
 Defeating the Giant Spider:
 To defeat the Giant Spider in the Dark Forest, circle around him and cast 
 Rictosempra. He will not shoot any spider webs at you. 
 
 Defeating the Whomping Willow:
 When the Whomping Willow starts to pound into the ground, hide in the corner 
 where you entered its lair. The shock wave cannot reach you in here, unless you 
 stray too far from it. Should you get hit, you should have refilled your potion
 Vile before you entered. Also, Hedwig will drop Cauldron Cakes and Beans for 
 your aid. Note: Rapid firing technique is recommended. Lock on to the limbs 
 after they finish pounding and fire a quick shot, then wait to lock onto the 
 Willow's Eye. Then, fire repeatedly until it stops hurting him before running 
 back to your hiding hole.
 
 Personal Requests and Notice Board: 
 The Notice Board in the Gryffondor common room usually gives a location, but 
 higher up as you near completion they start to give vague clues, such as 
 "Could be anywhere on grounds". With personal requests, they do not ever 
 really give you a clue, except the first one. However, the items are near 
 the area in about a two acre search range.
 
 Finding Lost Items:
 When in doubt, check Hagrid's Hut. Many of the lost items end up there.
 
 
 3 Roots Needed:
 Search the left side of Hagrid's Hut, by the Herbology Center. From there, 
 they all scatter (much like Neville's china set) behind Hagrid's Hut towards 
 the Forbidden Forest. The person that wants these will give you the key to 
 the Confiscated Items Room (six more cards and a bag to hold 200 Bertie Bott's 
 Every Flavored Beans).
 
 Lost Badge:
 Found on the Broom Flying Field, towards Hagrid's Hut and the Whomping Willow 
 (still inside the Flying Court).
 
 Lost Newspaper Article:
 Search the left side of Hagrid's Hut. Note: "Left" being if you were looking 
 from his front door towards the castle (the side next to the Herbology Center).
 
 Lost Wizards Hat:
 Found in a small patch of trees towards the Quiddich Court. 
 
 Neville's Crockery:
 Can be found close to the Flying Court and Hagrid's Hut. Up on a roof will be 
 a multitude of his china set. Go about a fifteen to twenty five second flying 
 trip from Neville (heading back). 
 
 Secretive Dragon Scale Gloves:
 The elusive gloves are by the lake, but not on land. They can be found just 
 outside the Broom Flying lessons field, on the lakeside. You will notice a 
 long strip is down low. On the far end are five torches (light with Incendio 
 to get a Wizards Card), and in the middle somewhere should be the gloves.
 
 Transformation spell:
 After you acquire the spell and return to the main room, use it to get across 
 the room on the other side of the gargoyle. You will need to use the hardly 
 visible ledges to cross. Hang off the wall ledge to escape nearing ghosts, and 
 push down the slabs to make a bridge. Once this is done, you will have to fight 
 the gargoyle. It is recommended that you get on the right staircase, halfway up. 
 Then, use the spell on the last stone and the door will open. 
 
 Forbidden Forest spiders:
 The spiders in the forest act as follows:
 
 Tiny Black    : Show you the path
 Big Green     : Jumpers (jump, run away, and jump again)
 Big Red       : Flingers (they spit)
 Big White     : Flingers (spit paralyzing venom)
 Big Multicolor: Possible Jumper/Flinger mix. 
 
 Hint:
 In the last round when you have to face the heir of the chamber and the 
 snake you will have to fight with him. You will be given a sword. 
 Just press your wand button and get ready . When you realize that the 
 snake is going to attack you then release the wand button. In the same 
 way in the second secisson when the snake is about to throw the poison 
 at you just release the wand button and he will recieve the hit.
